An enviable lifestyle here in Wales

Businesses moving to Wales are made to feel welcome - people are friendly, and families re-locating with their companies are buying in to an enviable lifestyle. For a start, Wales offers some of the most competitive house prices in the UK. Then there's the education system – we provide one of the best educational programmes anywhere in the UK. Social activities are among the best available, from music and the arts and theatre to literature, internationally-acclaimed food festivals and major sporting events ranging from rugby and football to international golf and water sports.

The great outdoors

Wales boasts some of the most beautiful countryside, mountains and coastal scenery in the world. The 870-mile Wales Coast Path is unique in being the only public path in the world around an entire country. It is used by walkers, cyclists, wildlife watchers, horse riders and it provides access to fine beaches and areas where enthusiasts of all ages can indulge in their chosen sports and pastimes. Wales also boasts nearly 1,600 square miles of national parks and many Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
